CNN correspondent Mary Snows report on Mondays The Situation Room about Barack Obamas charge that pro-life "folks are lying" about his abortion record actually just presented both sides of the controversy without getting to the reality of the matter. The report, which was promoted as "checking the facts" by host Wolf Blitzer, also omitted how Obamas campaign conceded on Sunday that the pro-lifers were actually accurately representing his record.

Before Snows report aired just before the top of the 6 pm Eastern hour of the CNN program, Blitzer read two promos for it. In the first, he announced how "Barack Obama [is] in the middle of an abortion battle. Now, he's pushing back after an extraordinary claim against him. We're going to examine the record." In the second promo, Blitzer played Obamas "lying" sound bite, and stated, "Senator Obama blasts opponents for distorting his record on abortion-related legislation. We're checking the facts."

Absolutely not - if this were an SEC filing the networks would be sued for failing to state material facts.

The truth is, I have no idea when Obama would deem a baby to have a right to live, free of the “mother’s” right to “choose.” Even babies outside thw wome don’t pass his test. One would hope that they would sometime - pehaps before entering Kindergarten?
